Trust But Verify

Bob Englehart

Yeah, right. I don’t trust this Trans-Pacific Partnership that President Obama wants so badly. I don’t trust the quick vote to approve the deal that the Senate held the other day. I don’t trust any of these world-class trade agreements the government engineers. Why? Because every deal I’ve seen so far takes jobs away from American workers and sends them to foreign lands where labor is considerably cheaper than here at home. The fact that this latest agreement was negotiated in secret is disturbing too. We’ll find out the details when it’s too late. I could be wrong about this. I hope I am, but if past is prologue, we’ll see more jobs drain away from American soil.
